The need to redefine what one wears has definitely led to demand for denim, seeing a steady rise and outpacing apparel in the first three months of the year. It also has a lot to do with shoppers looking to pick up something off the shelf, which is both trendy and fits their everyday needs.
Kasia Davies, data journalist of consumer goods at Statista, in an interview with Fibre*Fashion, said that last year the barrel jeans and super wide leg trend had picked up steam, and it could continue into this year. “I do not think the wide leg is fully gone out of fashion, but I think the cigarette silhouette, which is a kind of not skinny jeans, not wide leg, but a bit more tailored … maybe coming back this year,” Davies said.
